ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. In an educational environment, it strains, if not fractures, trust and collegiality, professional ethics, and the community of scholars, affecting teaching and research. In many cases, the ends can be argued to justify the means. It is the type of logic involved in the realist that is important: measuring ones decisions and actions by the violations of another. As Anderson points out, engaging in the secretive world, whether in intelligence work or in organizations, involves activities that cross moral boundaries. It is in this tradition that one finds the just war, and traditions of natural law. The intent here is to accept that wars take place but that it is morally encumbent upon one to wage war according to the guidelines from moral principle, enshrined in the modern period in various conventions and charters.
